we Indians
You are the only person who has ever shown that you are upset by the 'dot or feather' reference. Since I am Native American and find the term pretentious, and we had a large Indian from India population from school that is what I started to use to differentiate the two groups. Maybe I'd find it offensive if I didn't fall into one of the two categories. It's like making fun of myself. I guess I'll use "Native American" or "Indians from India or have descended from other individuals originating from the country of India." That suit your uptightness?

How about Red Indian? That way you won't get confused with Brown Indians (like me) :-)

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever poked fun at the red man. I think I'm gonna have to work up some material. However, Indians from India make easy, inviting, and frequent targets.

What's interesting is that leckey says she's been using Dot Indians forever now. I always thought you coined the term and she picked it from you. You should have filed a patent on the term, just to ensure people credited you with having invented the term.

I'm sorry if I didn't get the funny part which I think is hidden behind a lot of hard facts. For the political parts, I can't help. I'm afraid to answer. Most of what I see here is to say some Iranian or some Muslim did something bad. What does it proves? that I am bad? That all Iranian are bad? That American or non Muslims are all good? Should I or you answer for what the government are doing? If they are not wise enough to be friends, shouldn't I and you be? You know John, the difference between me and you starts from where on the earth I was born and where you did. Here's why I am a bit angry when I here such things rather than taking it funny: Maybe out of luck or maybe for some good reasons that I don't know, you've been born in US. What would you do if you where in Iran? Put yourself in my shoes. I'm baned from buying the stuff the whole world creates, I am baned from even going into some websites that find out where's my IP from, I am baned to work for a company outside of this country, etc. Wouldn't you be nervous in this situation? I'm not even talking about what's going on inside. These are an everyday experience for us. I'm just trying to ignore them, but when someone puts his finger exactly on the pain, I get angry. About the nuclear bomb, I'm sorry. As I stated in another post, I was too angry and not thinking enough.

I'm not debating anyone. I was simply education Hamed on how to take a joke.

"Rubbish!!!" (from my new favorite commercial) Until you get the WHOLE world to agree to that statement, you're merely wasting the electrical impulses that created the thought in your brain. Humanity - as a group - is destroying this planet, but that's the ONLY thing the entire world seems to be doing at the same time and for the same reasons. There will never be world peace - never.

I think the difference (other than the very important contribution to each situation by the two different individuals themselves) has a lot to do with "national character." Contrary to what "liberal" (i.e. leftist) news outlets always present as fact about Americans, we are not racists and/or other types or closed-minded reactionary bigots. We honestly do tend to see those with whom we interact as individuals first-and-foremost and as members of this or that group far down on the list. At any rate, the more "conservative" the American, the more the above assertion applies. Those of us who are leftists tend to be the opposite: seeing the person first-and-foremost as the local incarnation of some group.

Wow, what an interesting comment, all laced with Left vs Right comparisons. You sound just like one of those "liberals" that like to split people into groups. :rolleyes:

At what percent do we/you stop calling you Native American and just say American?
When white people can say they are proud to be "white" (not necessarity hating another group--just saying they have pride) and not have the rest of the world up in arms. You can be proud to be Irish, or British, or American. You can be proud to be Asian or Italian. You just can't be proud to be white.

It seems like northern Indians are more olive toned than red. The reddish hue I've seen more in southern tribes, but my exposure is limited to only a few groups. How about NATIVE AMERICANS will be Tan Indians and you can be Brown. :-D

huh? :confused: I asked when can we stop calling someone a Native American (or African American or Irish American or Asian American or [Name any ethnicity] American) and start just calling them American? 75%? 50%? 25%? 1%? What does that have to do with being proud of ones race?

Yeah, yeah. You really have all the cliches memorised don't you? What's next, kiwibird - "So's your old man?" Go take a bath, you still smell of ewe-shit. Christ, why am I wasting my time on someone who lives in Australia's vermiform appendix? I have better things to do - like sort socks and clean the litter box.
